Indian stock markets closed in negative territory on Wednesday thrashing the two-day straight surge with Sensex slipping below 33,000-mark and Nifty closing near 10,100 level as regional markets hovered in deep red following the pessimism over US-China trade war. The S&P BSE Sensex shed 205.71 points or 0.62% to close at 32,968.68 whereas NSE Nifty lost 62.85 points or 0.62% to settle at 10,121.3 on Wednesday. A slump in heavyweight shares of companies such as Reliance Industries, Infosys, ICICI Bank, ITC, Bharti Airtel, State Bank of India and Tata Steel weighed on the key equity indices. Today, 28 March 2018, was the last day of trading in the financial year 2017-2018.
During the day, the benchmark Sensex tanked as much as 256.73 points to a day’s bottom of 32,917.66. Shares of India’s third-largest IT company Wipro advanced more than 4% to Rs 283.5 on Wednesday emerging as the lead gainers on the BSE Sensex. Other than Wipro, shares of Coal India, Yes Bank, Hero MotoCorp, IndusInd Bank and Kotak Mahindra Bank were the only notable gainers rising up to 2.31%.
